Staci buzzed and answered "Zendaya" correctly. While some fans were excited to see the young starlet an answer to a Jeopardy question, other fans were bewildered by the fact the clue had a show Zendaya wasn't even well known for or according to them, in.
While some fans may have forgotten, Zendaya was in Good Luck, Charlie for a crossover episode with her show Shake it Up on her Disney Channel days. Fans went on to X, formerly Twitter, to express their confusion at that choice as well as wondering when Zendaya was on the series. One fan wrote: "Jeopardy! just said Zendaya was on Good Luck Charlie?? The one crossover episode?"
A second fan said: "watching #jeopardy when was zendaya on good luck charlie?!? Another said: "Jeopardy! just falsely stated that Zendaya starred in 'Good Luck Charlie.'" A fourth fan said: "Zendaya was not on 'Good Luck, Charlie'… right?"
The crossover episode released in 2011 where Zendaya guest starred on Good Luck, Charlie as her Shake it Up character Rocky Blue. She made her debut on the sitcom in 2010 until 2013. Good Luck Charlie was on for four seasons from 2010 to 2014. Zendaya recently starred in the 2024 tennis throuple drama, Challengers with Josh O'Connor and Mike Faist, which is what the first part of the Jeopardy! clue was referring to.
Aside from the perplexity of the Zendaya clues, fans once again harped on reigning champion Drew as he won Tuesday's game making him a five day champion with a total earning of $91, 283. He now qualifies for the spinoff Tournament of Champions. The former Survivor contestant has had backlash since beating the 15-day champion Adriana Harmeyer on June 19. They accused him of "gloating." when he beat the archivist.
Now certain fans are unhappy with Drew as he celebrated his win on the June 25 game. He was seen cheering and clapping for himself after the final Jeopardy and coming in first place with $15,601. In a June 25, post on the Jeopardy!'s Instagram account which had a clip of Drew relaying a story involving Survivor host Jeff Probst. One user wrote: "Can anyone see through the fake humility of him? Waiting for a new winner." Another wrote: "Someone please break his streak... Please. I was really hoping he wouldn't make it to the ToC"
